Halloween Pizza Dip
Get ready for a spooktacular treat with this cheesy Halloween pizza dip! This indulgent dip combines tender shredded chicken, gooey mozzarella, sharp cheddar, and tangy ranch sauce mixed with rich cream cheese and ketchup for a savory, pizza-inspired delight.
Ingredients
For the dip:
- 250 g boiled and shredded chicken
- 50 g mozzarella grated
- 70 g cheddar grated
- 120 ml ranch sauce
- 250 g cream cheese
- 240 ml ketchup
- salt
- pepper
For the dough:
- 1 ready-made pizza dough 400 g (~1 lb)
- 150 g cheddar cheese cut into cubes
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200° C/319° F.
For the dip:
- Place the chicken, mozzarella, cheddar, ranch sauce, cream cheese, and ketchup into a bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then mix thoroughly with your hands -wearing disposable gloves - until the mixture is well combined.
For the dough:
- Roll out the pizza dough out on a floured board using a rolling pin. Cut out the eyes, nose, and mouth of the monster with a knife.
- Transfer the cut pieces to a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then set aside for final assembly.
For the assembly:
- Cut the remaining dough into 16 equal pieces and shape them into small balls.
- Place a cube of cheddar in the center of each dough ball and close it up.
- Arrange the dough balls around the edge of a large ovenproof skillet, leaving a space in the middle.
- Spread the dip mixture in the empty space in the center of the skillet.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the dough is golden and the dip is heated through.
- Remove the skillet from the oven, place the dough pieces for the eyes, nose, and mouth to create the monster, and serve hot.
Notes
